A
rare glimpse into the world of photo editing in real estate listings has emerged, courtesy of a Melbourne agent's honest mistake. A property listing for a unit in Noble Park North featured both an edited and unedited photo, revealing a stark contrast between the two. The edited image showcased lush, vibrant grass surrounding the property, while the unedited version depicted a more subdued landscape.
The agent behind the listing, Alice Phuong from Area Specialist, attributed the discrepancy to a simple desire for a "better" and more visually appealing image. However, this candid admission has sparked a wider conversation about the prevalence of photo editing in real estate listings.
Many have expressed skepticism towards edited photos, with some going so far as to describe the practice as "sketchy." The issue has also raised questions about the ethics of photo manipulation, with some arguing it constitutes "false advertising."
This incident is not an isolated case. In recent times, several other property listings have been called out for questionable editing, including a rental in Leneva and a Melbourne property featuring a suspiciously green tree. As concerns grow over the accuracy of online listings, there are calls for new legislation to regulate photo editing in real estate advertising.
